The anticipation of the New Year holidays, which in childhood always arose on its own, over time for many of us dulls. And if the New Year's mood does not come to you in any way, then let's try to create it ourselves. After all, the holidays are just around the corner. And the wonderful Dutch artist Anton Pieck and his funny fabulous paintings will help us in this …
Do not be afraid of fairy tales. Fear the lie. What about a fairy tale? A fairy tale will not deceive. Tell a child a fairy tale - There will be more truth in the world. V. Berestov
If you dig deeper, then in the soul of each of us you will find a small child who still has faith in miracles. The elusive aura of New Year's holidays, which is created by a decorated Christmas tree, colorful garlands, the smell of tangerines, can briefly return us to a carefree childhood, giving us a feeling of happiness, joy, security and warmth.
A fairy tale … a dream-night owl … But where can I get it? Where? And my heart wants so much a miracle, Let it be small, but a miracle! E. Asadov. Winter's tale
From early childhood Anton Pik loved to draw and adored fairy tales. And he carried this love through his whole life. Modest in appearance and rather silent, he lived immersed in the world of his own fantasies, and the world around him was perceived as a fairy tale. “” - he once said in one of his interviews. Some called him the Dutch Andersen. Only, unlike Andersen, he painted his magical stories on paper with paints and a magic brush, using soft, muted tones. This artist's favorite seasons were autumn and winter.
The white wind whirls, Whistles on the run … I need to get down to business, But I just can't …
Everything in the world is now mysterious, Everything seems to be flying somewhere, Blizzard, beautiful, fabulous … And I believe in fairy tales sacredly.
It seems that he is sitting on the roof, drawing scenes from the life of the city, creating his own fairy-tale world on paper … Let's plunge into the atmosphere of this small old town, created by the imagination of a talented artist, wander through its crowded streets, look at the city bustle on the eve of a magical holiday … It is impossible not to be fascinated by the paintings of Anton Pick.
The plots of his paintings are not distinguished by serenity and iridescence. Often you can see rather modestly dressed townspeople, or even poor people altogether. But at the same time, all his works are imbued with lyricism and kind irony. And from his paintings there is a miracle and magic …
A blizzard, like a bear, The whole evening rages evil, It howls below the stairs, It scratches the glass with its paw.
Painfully I want to believe, That dreams will suddenly come true, Through the blizzard the bell at the door - And now you are on the doorstep!
Trembling, embarrassed, Dreaming or not dreaming ?! Powdered with snow, Stars on the eyelashes …
All the drawings of this talented artist are distinguished by a special, unique style - an amazing ability to harmoniously build a multi-figured composition with a thorough drawing of a huge number of details. Each of his paintings is a small story about the life of the inhabitants of a small town. All of them would be desirable for a long time to consider, while on the crowded streets you can see many curious and unique details.
I just want to go ice skating with the kids on a frozen river, make a snowman, stand in front of the magical windows of old shops, and knock about at the noisy city pre-holiday fair. Isn't it a miracle!
So our walk along the streets of the magical town of Anton Pik ended, but contemplation of the works of this artist makes us want to plunge into their mystical atmosphere again and again …
It's time to return from the fairy tale to your business.
Enough! Enough! I won't! Midnight … the wires are buzzing … The lights go out everywhere. I know: a miracle comes true, but that's not always … E. Asadov. Winter's tale
Upcoming holidays!!!

Why the "little Dutchman" Gerard Dow painted portraits without ears, which were more expensive than paintings by Rembrandt
The golden age of the history of the Netherlands gave the world many talented painters. Among them was Gerard Dow, who was once highly rated, then almost forgotten, and in the 20th century he returned to the ranks of the greats. No wonder - European monarchs were interested in his works, and each of them was worth fabulous money - Rembrandt lost in this to his pupil Dow.
